44. a sentry post

Liangzhou Longxi Lintao territory

Lintao City is named because of its topography, which is named after its proximity to Taoshui, which originates from the eastern foothills of the West Leaning Mountain. Pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info Taoshui as the first big river in Longxi, originating from the eastern foothills of the west slope, from west to east down the trend, to the territory of Lintao after being blocked by the mountain, the river turns sharply and changes to the north-west flow, through the ancient and Di Dao, through the border of the northwest of Longxi into Jincheng County, and finally into the upper reaches of the big river, the whole process of looking at the flow of Taoshui, just like a lying "L" shape.

Lintao is located at the junction of the upper and middle reaches of Taoshui, the place where the river passes is more lofty mountains and valley basins, cold and wet, because the territory is full of beach swamps, mountain meadows, it is a good place for agriculture and animal husbandry. In addition, Lintao City was built on the traffic artery of "controlling the West Sea in the west, Bashu in the south, and going to Sanqin in the east", the geographical location is extremely important, and the Han Empire once set up the southern governor here to guard the Qianghu barbarians in the jurisdiction to defend the place.

Yan Xing walked out of the temporary camp stationed on the slope alone at this moment, stepped on the dark and dim moonlight, slowly walked to the open space outside the camp, looked at the dark clouds and dim moonlight, looked up and whispered, his chanting voice was very small, and he could only be heard by his side.

"In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. ”

"The way is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, I don't know how I mourn! ”

···”

This is the "Picking Rose" in the Book of Poetry, the bitter cold land of Liangzhou, and the border defense location, when the peace is peaceful, there are also many conscripts and soldiers stationed in the border area, the people who fight, it is indispensable to play heroic songs, and express their ambitions with cymbal songs in the army, but most of these people who are fighting are people from a foreign land, watching the wild geese fly south, Chunhua is gone, how can they not see the injury of things, in the sound of Hu Ji and Qiang flute, homesick and sentimental, singing a song, but it is no longer ordinary.

In the summer of the fourth year of Zhongping, Yan Xing accompanied the army to the east, which was the time when the relatives folded the willow ancestral road and said goodbye to each other. Now after two years, their own family has returned to Liangzhou, although there is no bleak scenery of rain and snow, but it is a difficult situation under the fence, step by step, it is inevitable that there is sadness and sigh in the heart, so tonight I slept in clothes, but it was difficult to sleep for a long time, and I could only walk out of the camp alone, feeling nostalgic for the moon.

"I don't know if the father at home is healthy, the news of the defeat of the Spring Festival coalition army this year has already been transmitted back to Yunwu City, and most of the families and horses in Jincheng who are trending towards the flames have suffered heavy losses, presumably the families must be throbbing in their hearts at this time, and they dare not speak out. Two years ago, when the coalition was in full swing, my father once thought that Han Sui was the new son of heaven in the West, but now that the situation has reversed, I think he can finally see the Liangzhou coalition army's lust and guilt, and I hope he will not blame himself too much, now Liangzhou is an eventful autumn, and all the affairs of the clan are indispensable to him! ”

"And the little sister who is going to die this year, her little red horse has now grown into a tall horse, I wonder if she is still so carefree, able to ride the jujube red horse in the garden and trot all the way, laughing and laughing down those planted flowers and plants······"

Yan Xing thought about it intently, but at this time, a figure came out of the forest not far away, and his feet stepped on the weeds with a thin layer of night frost on the surface one after another, squirming, and making a sound that broke the silence of the moonlit night.

Yan Xing frowned, his right hand was already on the handle of the ring knife hanging on his left waist, the knife was half sheathed with a thud, the tiger's eyes were wide open, and he was looking at the direction of the figure's movement, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

"Angelica!"

The visitor's ears were very sharp, and he obviously heard the sound of Yan Xing's sword drawing, and he hurriedly shouted, it was the secret signal of the camp guard duty tonight.

Angelica is also known as grass head return, dry return, the valley of Lintao in Longxi is prolific with this medicinal material, so tonight to "Angelica" for the army to guard the order.

Yan Xing's heart moved, guessing that it should be the sentry post that was keeping watch outside the camp tonight, he stepped forward slowly, his right hand did not leave the handle of the knife, and he looked at the person who came and said word by word:

"Someone is slowing down, what's going on, so panicked?"

The people who came didn't care about Yan Xing's order, the speed of running was still very fast, and in a blink of an eye, Yan Xing's ring knife had all been unsheathed, but he didn't make a move, and it was really a sentry on duty tonight. Looking at his appearance, most of the hair bun on his head and the clothes on his body were wet with night dew and his own sweat, and there were a few blood marks on his face that were cut by the branches and leaves in the forest.

"It's a big deal, there is an unknown thief night attack tonight, most of the sentry posts on the periphery have been touched, I am temporarily running out of Gong, only to get away with it, the weapons and horns on the body are thrown in place, and when I returned, I saw that the situation was not good, so I fled back in a hurry, hurry, I will quickly enter the camp to warn and gather people to defend!"

"Don't panic first, how many enemies are coming, and from which direction?"

"There are a lot of people, there are enemies sneaking in from all directions, I need to quickly enter the camp to tell the army and the gentleman, you don't have to delay important things here, you will harm everyone later, you can't afford this crime!"

After saying that, the sentry fled quickly to the camp, and when he encountered the enemy, he did not dare to raise his voice to warn, for fear of alarming the enemy and killing his own life, so he fled back to the camp blindly. Now looking at the camp, Yan Xing, who was afraid to learn about the situation, shouted an early warning, and competed with him for the first credit of this enemy track, and the undecided others hurriedly let go of their voices before they approached, and shouted at the camp regardless of it.

"Oh no, there's a night attack!"

Seeing that this sentry post rushed into the makeshift camp without knowing the enemy's situation, he shouted and ran, regardless of the chaos of his own position. Yan Xing's eyebrows suddenly twisted into a "Chuan" word, if he is not mistaken, this sentry should be one of Dong Huang's cronies who are now sleeping in the camp, seeing this pair of master and servant so unbearable, Yan Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Dong camp, there are really good and bad, there are both wise and resourceful people like Li Ru, good generals like Xu Rong, and people from the family like Dong Huang.

This trip to Liangzhou, although I don't know what the purpose of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others is, is the first errand of Yan Xing and others who have just been recruited and incorporated by Dong Jun. Because he had occupied Shanze before and recruited a lot of displaced people, Yan Xing's power swelled greatly, and there were nearly 1,000 people after eliminating the old and the young, and Xu Rong's attitude towards this subordinate who was finally taken under his command was also quite ambiguous, and it seemed that he didn't care about the past, and even specially allocated an independent camp for Yan Xing and others to station, so Yan Xingliangzhou, who was riddled with trivial matters, chose to leave Ma Lin and Gan Ling in Dong Ying, on the one hand, to train the rogue militia, and on the other hand, to guard against Xu Rong's secret moves.

It happened that Yan Xing's leg injury was almost healed, so Yan Xing took him and Xiao Kui and more than a dozen horsemen to join Li Ru and Dong Huang's escort team, and a group of nearly 100 people dressed as Liangzhou business travelers set off for Liangzhou.

And with the hearsay along the way, Yan Xing finally had a general understanding of the current situation in Liangzhou.

Note: At the end of the Han Dynasty, the "Famous Doctor's Catalogue" recorded: "Angelica sinensis was born in the valley of Longxi"
